Have you ever felt so stressed; overworked, exhausted, let down by other people, the world or yourself, that you wanted to run away or quit everything?

Do people say you’re a ‘little sensitive’ at times?

Do you look at other people and wonder how ‘luck’ graced their every move, yet you always somehow ‘lost’?

Have you always tried your best to ‘do the right thing’ especially during tough or extremely difficult circumstances yet somehow always ‘wrong’?

Do you ever wonder if you were ‘programmed’ to fail? I did. And, yes you can be, innocently or otherwise!

I found the ultimate answer to help anyone/everyone!

My personal search started over 30 years ago. My gut instinct was that the problem was genetic and the solution was ‘simple’ but until recently I was unable to ‘prove’ my case nor ‘walk my talk’, so, true to typical ‘Cornish’ form, I kept searching for answers not just to my own problems but for everyone I worked with or knew at the same time!

It was a tall order, but the truth was that in fact I was only looking at the common denominators. The truth is I saw THE solution, but because it is SO obvious and always apparent I could not believe so few people realised.

Then I saw the problem!

But how could I prove it?

I 2002 I decided to get the pieces of paper (the qualifications) and work to my theory knowing that 2017 was ‘project phoenix’ year. I pushed on with my ‘plan’ to change my world and that of the people (especially my family and loved ones) for the better, whilst realising that there was only one way.

I took advice -‘Go for the low hanging fruit’ they said, ‘you’ll get there quicker that way’

Dropping the toxic people/ things from my life or simply standing my ground right took courage and perhaps too a little madness, but I was at the point where I would do ANYTHING to get peaceful and stress free.

What did I learn?

What I fully appreciate is that each and every one of us has a totally unique gift; a quality/ perspective that no-one else has, which has been forged by time. There are many key factors to that ‘gift’ and I ‘get’ them.

The Problem, as I see it

No-one gave us the ‘ownership manual’ or if they did, we’ve forgotten vital bits of information. For this is not something taught in schools or universities. Bizarrely, although I studied anatomy, physiology, human biology and indeed psychology I certainly did not know what I (we all) need to know about ‘getting on’ in life.

Over time I simply realised that I was, simply, confused!

What the university of life has taught me

Physically

Our bodies are very precious things! We are all guilty of ‘accidental’ or ‘innocent’ damage or even ‘abuse’ at some level, whether its repetitive movements, lack of movement resulting in physical stiffness, tension or pain. I frequently joke with my clients… if our body was a dog, and we (as individuals) are the owner then most of us would be in trouble! There would be either frequent visits to the vet or even the RSPCA…

Emotionally

Our minds are as equally precious and vulnerable as our bodies. When things are going wrong; or you are unhappy, ‘down’ or stressed to the eyeballs your mind will offer solutions to ‘feel better’ -some solutions are healthier than others. Some will help elevate your mind, feelings and spirit, whilst others will knock you back further.

Spiritually

If you are not living ‘your life purpose’ in time you WILL run out of steam. When this occurs you are vulnerable in more ways I care to mention so early in my ‘introduction’ to my Maga Therapy ‘Stress’programs.

The Bigger Picture

Anyone, everyone is subject to ‘stress’ whether physical or emotional. When it occurs we buckle under the strain if it is not removed.

The difference between our ability to deal with the effects of stress is formed in our younger years up until around 7 years old.

Stress comes in many forms and can be triggered by other peoples responses and reactions to situations, the weather, politics, global issues, your job.. ANYTHING!

Sharing the love… You can learn from me!

My name is Dawn Symons, I’m a ‘human mechanic’. I can help recover you/ your body to optimum levels but in order to do so we need to be ‘on the same page’

Join me on Friday March 24th 2017 at The Old Bakery Studios, Malpas Road, Truro.

Doors open at 6:30pm for nibbles and a mingle, I ‘take the stage’ at 7pm (prompt)

Wow! I’ve suffered with numerous pains and headaches for years. Having gone through physiotherapy and acupuncture to no avail I thought I would try the Maga Therapy. It’s been incredible and I’ve even even grown a couple of cm where my posture had been so bad. Haven’t felt this good for such a long time. Thank you Dawn!

Was feeling rather tense in advance of an early induction for my pregnancy and saw Dawn was trained in pregnancy massage. Dawn did a really good job, clearly knew what she was doing and eased out all the tension using the perfect amount of pressure for me. She also offered lots of reassurance for the big day! Most helpful. I've had a number of massages in the past and this has definitely been the best to date. My only regret is I did not book longer and I will certainly be using Dawn again

Brilliant! Dawn applies all her skill, knowledge, experience and intuition to every massage session. She can find the problem areas quickly and uses great pressure & technique to relieve tense and knotted muscles. Dawn has an upbeat, chatty personality to leave you feeling relaxed yet energised.

Dawn is excellent and intuitive at what she does, the Maga session made a massive difference to the muscle spasm in my neck and shoulder. I walked out of there feeling like a new person. I would recommend it to anyone especially if you have any chronic muscle spasms. I have never really had massage prior to this an it was an eye opener to what can be achieved by a skilled practitioner.

I cannot recommend highly enough. I'm a runner and I first went to Dawn having seen some physios who could not fix my knee issue. Dawn has a superb, comprehensive level of knowledge and was able to correct my knee but also help with the underlying, bio-mechanical problem. She provided me with a tailored exercise programme which has helped me go from middle distance running to running ultra-marathons. Dawn is not only very skilled but also very personable and friendly.

Dawn is so friendly and immediately puts you at ease. Had a treatment for my lower back, sciatica and neck two weeks ago. I have had no lower back pains since even after doing two 6 hr car journeys. Would highly recommend her.

I was lucky enough to win a session with Dawn. I decided to pick the Reiki as never tried this before. I can honestly say it was an enlightening experience!
Dawn made me feel so relaxed and taught me techniques for my own relaxation when I’m at work, which I will definitely use!
I can only explain the feeling I felt afterwards as lengthened. It was just a lovely experience.
Will definitely recommend Dawn to anyone who is suffering from pain/stress, or if anyone fancies some relaxation, thoroughly enjoyed it!

An Evening with Dawn - wonderful food and music along with a great insight into the mechanics around stress. Dawn showed a huge insight and knowledge into how we deal with stress and gave a focus on mindfulness with tips that can be used in everyday life to maintain, as well as promote health and wellbeing.

Specialist in her field. Truro is lucky to have Dawn's services, she brings to the city a wealth of knowledge and experience. My husband tore his hamstring on a surfing holiday and Dawn's massages are 'healing' the scar tissue' (sorry if that isn't the most technical answer!) But (thank God) he's in less pain meaning he is slightly less of a man child right now :)

Dawn is an absolute superstar and I cannot recommend her enough! I was suffering from general aches and pains which Dawn was able to locate, treat and advise how to avoid in future. My posture has immediately improved and I'm confident this will help me achieve my personal bests. I can't wait to go again!

I had a 'pregnancy massage' with Dawn this morning and can't recommend her highly enough. I felt safe in Dawn's knowledge and experience in treating me whilst pregnant and cannot wait for my next one next week on my due date!
Absolutely loved it, thank you ☺️

I can't recommend Dawn highly enough, after only two sessions with her, (and about to book my next one) I feel like a new person, I stand straighter, and walk taller, and years old pains and niggles I thought I'd have to live with, are starting to fade. Not only can Dawn deal with current issues you may have with your body, but help you prevent further pain by helping you learn to listen to your own body.
I can't wait to return

Had my second massage with Dawn today and once again feel great afterwards! Having tried many treatments in the past to free my pesky neck pain Dawn and her magic hands have far surpassed any other! She has provided me with the longest lasting post treatment feeling of comfort than anyone else ever has! I would highly recommend and am very happy to have found her!

Having had issues with my knee for many months after a fall - 2 treatment sessions with Dawn - my knee is as good as new again! I've known Dawn for years so no idea why I waited so long to arrange a treatment! Her knowledge & understanding of the body is exceptional - highly recommend her. Thank you Dawn! :)

I was introduced to Dawn by a friend, she told me 'Dawn will know what to do'. And she did. During a stressful time where my back, shoulders, neck and emotions were paying the price and had evolved into near constant headaches, Dawn has eradicated the headaches (as well as other aches and pains). To be honest i've struggled to find such a fantastic therapist since leaving London 3 years ago. Along with that she's a genuine and lovely person and has left me feeling so much more positive about many things. Highest recommendations.

I have suffered with back pain for several years and felt like I had exhausted all avenues of help/treatment with chiropractors/doctors/massages etc - then a friend recommended I went to see Dawn! By far the best and most helpful person I have ever been treated by. I feel like after years I am finally moving forward in overcoming a horrid dull constant pain. Th treatment itself was excellent but also the advice and help she gave me about looking after and strengthening my body and my mind was just as important! Thank you Dawn and look forward to seeing you soon x

10 years ago I suffered some spinal cord damage from my discs after years of building and rugby and have walked with a limp because of loss of muscle and feeling in my left leg. Last night I went to see Dawn on the recommendation of a friend about another injury I've had to my shoulder blade which has plagued me for years, Dawn treated me for this and in the process treated my lower back and leg too. Suffice to say that when I left it was the first time in ten years that I haven't limped and walked in a balanced and normal way, the realisation of this hit me so hard emotionally that I broke down in tears of joy. Today I've had the first pain free day in terms of my back and leg since the injury and I'm delighted! It's nothing short of miraculous and I'd highly recommend treatment with Dawn if you're suffering. Don't, like me, leave it so long as it will be worth it. Thank you Dawn.

What an amazing experience! Dawn worked so very hard on an old injury and released a lot of aches and pains I was having. She explained everything to me so I could understand why I was having recurring issues with my back. Very professional, very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going back!!

I won a competition from dawn for a 60 minute massage and I can not thank her enough. She really went to town on relieving pain in my knee, back ect such a lovely kind lady and will definitely be booking again in the future! If I could rate you 10* I would xxx

I had an amazing treatment with Dawn today which was build specifically to fit my body's ailments. I didn't realise how tight and problematic my shoulders (in particular my left (dominant side)) had become. I also discovered that I have severe tightness in my left hip and at the base of the back of my skull (which had been contributing to the frequent headaches I had been getting).
Dawn spent the hour long treatment working in depth on these areas and when she had finished I felt like a new woman. Her attention to detail and care was fantastic. I felt that she totally understood my body and treatment needs and knew how to care for me. This was the best treatment I have had in many years. Thank you Dawn. I can't wait to come back for my next treatment. :-)

I have just come back after being very lucky and winning one of the massages Dawn offered. I am very impressed, highly recommend her and will be going back again!!! Thank you so much for an excellent session!

Just had a massage with Dawn to sort out my back whilst down here on holiday. Literally walking taller and Dawn managed to deal with an area where I would nt allow anyone touch let alone massage. It s a shame I did nt know about her at the beginning of the week- would ve seen her every day! Amazing.

I have had a variety of excellent treatments from Dawn, ranging from deep tissue massages to delivery boost treatments during both pregnancies, once due date passed, she bought both my labours on, at home through her treatments rather than me having to be induced in hospital. I cannot recommend Dawn's treatments enough.
